If you're on the highway you're pretty ****ed no matter what since they can see you from a mile away getting off the highway.

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but they're not going to call air support for someone they're trying to pull over from a speeding ticket just because they ran... seems like way too much money just to catch somebody that was speeding

    chances are if you're making that big of a deal out of running from the cops, youve got a lot more on the line than a speeding violation.

    Not necessarily, a major speeding ticket (anything over 100) is major major points and most likely will cost you your license... I'd risk running over losing my license

    and they would would call in the air unit on you, because they dont know that. They assume that if you are running you have something serious to hide. You have to look at it from their "better safe than sorry" point of view.

    Good point. I wasn't advocating running, because running in a car is stupid and the cop is just going to be more pissed at you when he does catch you... All hypothetical, shouldn't be driving like that in the first place

    Yep thats me lol but I out ran one of those srt chargers coming down from SC to GA around the area of braselton.I saw him clock me and get in his vehicle so at the moment I was like WTF!So as soon as he evened his speed with mines I floored it and didnt look back till I hit around 179 in my HUD.I looked back and I could only see his blue lights so I averaged the speed around 150-160 cause you never know when some people wont give a f@ck and get in your lane and at those speeds expecting your to slow down no matter what.So after a few exits I got of at a local truck stop I belive it was a Loves but chilled their for like an hour and took of from tearing up that country buffet...lol

    That is the sig I also use in LS1tech.com and the 427TTA4 stands for my screen name also means the setup that I wanted back in the day when I had my 98 A4 transam But then I traded in the F-body for the vette so I changed cars but kept the same name.As for the block I still have the stock 346ci ls1 but wanting to go boost instead of the I/H/C setup that 95% of lsx owners go lol but as for now its just boltons on spray.

    not everyone who street races is an idiot, and not everyone under the age of 21 is incapable of street racing without making an idiot of their selves. this guy, however, does not fall into that catagory.

    I disagree, doing shit on the streets is dumb. Even if you take a lot of precaution and just haven't gotten caught or hurt anyone yet, doesn't mean that things till won't happen. You can be as stupid all you want, but when you bring your stupidity out onto public roads where you can hurt people who play by the rules, it becomes a problem. And yes, it DOES make you an idiot.

    ^^ Yeah, I drew a frame of a man running on each fan blade. That is him running at idle

    Well said.

    As you speed beyond 80mph, your % chance of wrecking with someone pretty much goes up exponentially. Good luck pushing your luck with those numbers.
    Its like one of those drug ads:

    Racing - It will make your ego feel great and your dick up to 1" longer!

    Risks include arrests, reckless driving, speeding tickets, loss of future employment, felony records, increased insurance rates. Some patients have died and other with debilitating injuries. Injury or death to innocent victims has also been seen. Use at your own risk.

    most of the time, if you arnt an idiot, you race on a road with very little traffic...very late at night. You arnt gonna hurt anyone because i mean even if someone is coming they can see whats going on...you can see them coming...you just simply let them pass and resume...if you dont do it this way then you are indeed an idiot. but just because someone street races, does not make them an idiot. besides its a thousand times more fun to race on a street than it is to race on a track...9357345 times the adrenaline...

    With little traffic? Come on.... And if you make a miss judgment, hit some something in the road, blow a tire, ANYTHING that causes you to lose control and smash into another car, I guess you were still being "SMART" about it...
    Not saying this same scenario can't happen doing doing 55 late at night, but i tend to think you have more control over a car doing 55-80 rather than 100+

    If someones coming? How do you know how they are going to react to cars coming flying at them at extreme speeds? You must have that new Telepathy Detector that allows you know exactly how they are going to react....

    You might be smart, you might have a degree and be a doctor, the second you race your car on the street you've become an idiot. Its not safe, the roads are not regulated for extreme speeds, and you do not care for anyone's life not even your own, plain and simple.

    headlights my friend...on a flat road you can see them a mile away...actually further than that...but it doesnt matter cause youre only goin a quartermile. im not sayin its particularly safe...im just sayin, just because you do it doesnt make you an idiot.

    I only see it as a Lesser of two evils, I cant say I agree with it, and i cant say I haven't done it as well. But It was a stupid decision on my behalf, but thats why we all have different opinions

But HONDA just LET ME DOWN. FU*K 4 CYLINDERS IM getting me a 04 Cobra

    too many variables can go wrong. debris, weather, other cars, etc.

    you traveling at 100+ might not give the average person time to react. it'll also be hard for you to swerve out of the way if say, there's a blown tire, rocks/dust, or any debris in the road.

    i've seen plenty of people who've traveled late at night on the interstates, usually w/ family. all it takes is one mistake on either ends.

    well if you look into it, 4 bangers that are built na run 13's. most built v8's run 10-11 sec 1/4 miles. and with a v8 you arent stressing the motor to get 400hp. a honda would have alot of trouble holding 400hp, before too long the bottom end would probably be roasted unless you spend ridiculous amounts of money for things like a dart block. the power/weight ratio is something but not enough to replace 4 more cylinders...age old argument, I love imports but you cant argue with displacement, basically you cant take 200hp and outrun a hemi lol, thats how that cop caught you

    no exceptions,street racing=idiot

    the level of precautions you take to reduce your chances of problems doesn't prevent the idiocity, just lowers the level of idiocy, but either way you slice it, it's just plain stupid. Hell, I hate to REALLY cause a stir, but being an automotive enthusiast at all has a level of being dumb. Driving enthusiastically adds risk(track or not) and costs more money in fuel, maintenance, and wear and tear. We still do it anywhay, so where to draw the line? Well that's just it. It's just taking your love of speed into a public place with rules normally abided by to deter this enthusiasm to tracks is a whole 'nother level of stupid.

    ^^ Yeah, I drew a frame of a man running on each fan blade. That is him running at idle

    Is it bad that the reason I don't race on the street is because I like MY car way too much instead of thinking of hurting other people haha.

    A. Guy just got killed running from the cops in Warner Robins. He was in a stock black G35 and was running on this curvy ass road with his headlights OFF. He was drunk AND the roads were wet. Couldnt take a curve and hit a HOUSE, died the next morning. Im not gonna lie, i've ran before, but not high speed im speed away from the cops. When I run, its cut through a neighborhood and know my miata handles better, usually not going over 50.

    B. If you run, and you get caught, its not messed up. You take the risk of running. You feel you have a better chance of getting away then you getting caught. Your frend was wrong. Get over it.
